Useless Human of the Week: Donna E. Shalala

This goes to the one and only president of University of Miami, Donna E. Shalala, for her hideous display of leadership this week. After laying down brutal penalties of one game, against Duke nonetheless, to every one except the the medieval warrior swinging around his helmet, Donna held a press conference where she admitted that she had not watched the film because it would have upset her. That is the most pathetic excuse of leadership I have ever heard, she said that she was there so she doesn't need to watch the tape. You have got to be kidding me, how in the world did you become the president of a major university, how did the chairman possibly choose you during their interview process. You have it on film, to analyze and see exactly what happened and you chose not to.

If I was a member of the board at Miami, I would want the head of the AD, Coker and probably Donna. Coker isn't getting the results he needs and he has obviously has lost control of the team.

Brandon Merriweather

That's your senior captain, that's great. What a leader, running around spiking people in the chest and legs as they're on the ground. If he maintains his Captaincy and receives only the one game he is currently suspended for that is high end thievary.

High School Similarity

In High School my junior season, our best hitter Jamie Schilkowski, who was batting somewhere above the .400 line, struck out to end the game against a very good Notre Dame West Haven team. Almost immediately after swinging and missing he pivoted his back foot turn and threw the bat towards our dugout, yes our dugout. The bat proceeded to hit the head of the on deck hitter, who luckily was wearing a helmet, else he would have lost major brain cells. When confronted he said that he lost the bat on the backswing, which was a complete joke. So what harsh penalty did our coach give our best hitter, a whopping 3 innings against Derby nonetheless. Yes not even a full game and Derby was playing their whole JV squad cause their coach was a rambling idiot. Basically Derby was the equivalent of the Duke squad Miami is being suspended against this week. Pathetic.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
